AFI This Time Imperfect Lyrics

[Spoken]
We held hands on the last night on Earth.
Our mouths filled with dust, we kissed in the fields and under trees, screaming like dogs, bledding dark into the leaves.
It was empty on the edge of town but We knew everyone floated along the bottom of the river.
So We walked through the waste where the roat curved into the sea ans the shattered seasons lay, and the bitter smell of burning was on you like a disease.
In our cancer of passion you said "Death is a midnight runner."
The sky had come crashing down like the news of an intimate suicide.
We picked up the shards and formed them into shapes of stars that wore like an antique wedding dress.
The echoes of the past broke the hearts of the unborn as the ferris wheel silently slowed to a stop.
The few insects skittered away in hopes of a better pastime.
I kissed you at the apex of the maelstorm and asked if you would accompany me in a quick fall, but you made me realize that my ticked wasn't good for two.
I rode alone.
You said, "The cinders are falling like snow."
There is poetry in despair, and we sang with unrivaled beauty, bitter elegies of savegery and eloquence.
Of blue and grey.
Strange, we ran down desperate streets and carved our names in the flesh of the city.
The sun has stagnated somewhere beyond the rim of the horizon and the darkness is a mistery of curves and lines.
Still, we lay under the wilderness we found salvation scratched into the Earth like a message.

[Sing]

I cannot leave here, I cannot stay
Forever haunted, more than afraid
Asphyxiate on words I would say
I'm drawn to a blackened sky as I turn blue

There are no flowers, no, not this time
There'll be no angels gracing the lines
Just these stark words I find
I'd show a smile, but I'm too weak
I'd share with you could I only speak
Just how much this hurts me

I cannot stay here, I cannot leave
Just like all I loved, I'm make-believe
Imagined heart, I disappear
Seems...no one will appear here and make me real

I'd tell you how it haunts me
I'd tell you how it haunts me
(Cuts through my day and sinks into my dreams)
I'd tell you how it haunts me
(Cuts through my day and sinks into my dreams)
You don't care that it haunts me...Oh
